Configuring an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

For Managed services to access Kubernetes clusters, you must provide the value of the following parameters:

Note: You must have administrator privileges for the deployment of IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster and charts into that cluster. If you do not have these privileges, contact your administrator.

  • IBM Cloud API Key - Enter the IBM Cloud API Key. It is the key to access your Kubernetes cluster.
  • IBM Cloud region name - Enter the IBM Cloud region name where your cluster is running.
  • IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster name - Enter the Kubernetes cluster name.
  • Kubernetes Helm version - Select the Kubernetes Helm version on which the cluster is running.

The cluster credentials are validated before creating a cloud connection. However, the health of the cluster is not validated.
